Who Will Take Care of the Dog? AND Other Real-Life Planning Needs

When most people think about estate planning, they picture documents wills, trusts, powers of attorney, signatures neatly placed where they belong.

But real life doesn’t live on paper.

At Provision Law Firm, we know that meaningful planning goes far beyond legal documents. It’s about the everyday details that matter just as much as the big decisions.

Estate Planning Is About Real Life

Clients often come to us with questions like:

• Who will take care of the dog if something happens to me?

• Who makes sure Mom stays in her home as long as possible?

• Who knows which child actually wants the cabin—and who doesn’t?

• Who steps in if I’m alive but can’t make decisions for myself?

These aren’t afterthoughts.
They’re the heart of the plan.

Why the “Little” Details Matter So Much

The nitty-gritty details are often what cause stress, conflict, and confusion for families when a plan isn’t clear. Pets, routines, caregiving preferences, and family dynamics don’t always fit neatly into legal language but they still need to be addressed.

That’s why our process doesn’t stop once the documents are drafted.

We talk through:

• Daily responsibilities and routines

• Who you trust to step in—and why

• Backup plans (because life rarely goes exactly as expected)

• How to reduce burden on the people you love

A well-crafted estate plan should guide your loved ones, not leave them guessing.

Planning That Works Outside the File Folder

Our goal is simple:
Your plan should work in the real world.

That means helping you think through scenarios you may not have considered yet and putting protections in place that reflect your actual life—not just a legal checklist.

Because peace of mind comes from knowing:

• Your people are supported

• Your wishes are understood

• Even the dog is taken care of
